Exploring the conformal window: SU(2) gauge theory on the lattice
Abstract
We study the SU(2) gauge theory on the lattice with different numbers of fermions in the fundamental representation of the gauge group to explore the gauge theory phase diagram. We find evidence for an infrared fixed point for ten flavors. The theory with six flavors shows behaviors compatible with the existence of a (quasi) stable fixed point, but the large errors in the present data do not allow for decisive confirmation of this.
